The Unfairness of a CCTV

Someone might be watching you, so you must be on your best behavior at all times.
Teacher: The researcher might be watching.
Learner: The teacher might be watching. You rail against the teacher, but you do what she wants, as crazy as it may be.
Teacher: You rail against the researcher, but you zap the learner when the researcher tells you to. She is this omnipresent force that has power over you. She is inside your mind telling you to act against your morals. God seems very far away.
Learner: If the teacher were in the room with you, you could relate to them as a human being. You could become a team against the unfairness of the researcher. You could become the delinquent class.
Teacher: If the researcher were in the room with you, you could argue with them as a human being. You could overpower her. You could trick her. But what’s the point if the learner is so far away and you’re reassured that she’s okay? Easier to just go along with the researcher and do what she says.
